The treatments was high water lodging, consist of : (a) high water lodging 0 cm; (b) high water lodging 2.5 cm above soil surface; (c) high water lodging -2.5 cm above soil surface. Results showed that high water lodging 0, 2.5, -2.5 cm did not decrease the plant height, number of tiller per hill, as well as grain yield and overall yield components.
